UCLA 2023 Waitlist Thread

Hey guys! I was waitlisted, and I was wondering if anyone else did not receive an email from them saying my admission decision? Just wanted to see if this was normal or if it’s something I should contact them about.

My S was waitlisted too. He did not receive an email.

Does anyone know when UCLA is releasing waitlist stats for this application season? Also, what should be included in the waitlist response to maximize the slim chances of being accepted off?

My son got accepted off the waitlist a few years ago. He included things not in his original application. His first semester grades (all As in 5 APs), some awards he had received, his recent Youth and Government experience, some athletic stuff, etc…

Does UCLA send a confirmation that I accepted a spot on the waitlist? All that I see is a checkmark to the left of the waitlist option but there’s no official confirmation

@hyponova Yes! I got an email confirmation every single time I pressed submit.

Did the essay update box disappear? I can’t seem to find it anywhere on my portal.

@blotzok you can’t update it anymore since it was due at 11:59pm yesterday.

hey guys, any way to increase chances?

Just admitted off of the waitlist! There is hope for us all.

@parsley777 Congratulations! May I ask what major you are?

JUST FOUND OUT I GOT ADMITTED OFF THE WAITLIST!!! There’s hope for us all! Don’t give up! I didn’t write an essay or anything for the “additional information” either. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

I JUST GOT IN!!! Never thought this would happen. Didn’t write an essay, and I even emailed my admissions rep 2 days ago and she told me to “accept an offer of admission elsewhere” because waitlist will likely not work out. STAY HOPEFUL GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!

My stats are honestly much lower than their averages. 3.8 UW GPA and 1370 SAT. I know I only got in because of ECs and essays.

Psychology

I just got off the waitlist!

My daughter just got off waitlist! Very excited as this is number 1 pick! OOS, full IB, 4.0 uw gpa; 1480 SAT; good luck to everyone!! Go Bruins!

@kibbles Congratulations! What major?
